Tina I was just reading through all the replies, and was just getting to the end and thought I would reply, and then saw your reply. It is exactly what I was going to ask Sarah What if it was one of her children? I think they are sick and should be locked up for ever in a dungeon until they rot, no they shouldnt be hanged as they wouldnt suffer for long. They need to suffer for a long long time.

I wonder if Sarah Maclean would feel the same way if it was one of her children that he had abused. this Vile Pervert and his Bum Chum Jonathon king should never see the light of day the same as all CHILD MOLESTERS. Tina

All paedos should be tattoed on the forehead, so we know who they are. Not all parents ignore their children, I never have. Victims of abuse never recover, they are mentally scared for life, so why should these monsters be allowed to walk free and live a normal live. They are a danger and should be put to death and before someone cries me down for this, only have a go at me if you know exactly how it feels to be a victim. Don't make comments on what you would do if one of your family WAS a victim, don't make judgements about how it feels to be a victim, only victims know how it truly feels. M.

As someone who writes to a long term prisoner in solitary confinement, he has been in solitary for the last 20+ years, I felt I must add to this subject. The person I write to is not guilty of the abuse of children (he suffered enough of that as a child), however he is guilty of permanently removing some of those who did commit abuse. Whilst no-one would agree that this should not go unpunished, I find it difficult to reconcile the conditions that he is held in as compared to those conditions and lengths of sentences imposed on the likes of Glitter and King. Admittedly they did not kill anyone, however the abuse itself will feel like a life sentence to their victims.

I agree that paedophilia is vile but,here is a contentious one,I also think we have a strange atitude to children that makes their evil pursuit a lot easier for them.I so often see children being completely ignored in public by their parents,no attention,which they so evidently need in a strange place,and which they are trying to attract to the annoyance of others. If I,who really has no interest in them other than that they are disturbing my peace,notice this then surely some predatory piece of filth will as well.The one thing that paedophiles will give in abundance is attention. Whatever we think of them,they are hanging about,surely we should be doing more to protect children from them as well as discussing what to do once they are caught.

Hi, I don't think that paedophilia is an illness. If it were paedophiles could be sectioned under the mental health act and kept in secure hospitals until 'cured'. It seems to be regarded as a personality disorder and as such is untreatable. Criminals most likely to re-offend are those convicted of sexual offences. It seems to me that there is a big gap in our legal system and maybe legislation is neccessary to ensure that those suffering from certain 'personality disorders' are kept locked up until they are no longer a danger to others or are dead.

Gary Glitter looks like what he is! a pervert nothing less! Dave

There arn't many people that would disagree with you on that one TT.

Apparentley Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia where he has been living, is a haven for paedophiles where £3 buys sex with girls as young as 11........source, Sunday Mirror.

Yep Bendy youre probably right - i wouldnt dare type what i really think

I think this is a discussion I shall have to bow out of now before I do a second disappearing act.

Yes paedophilia is an illness, but what would you all suggest? If he is a danger to children then he is a danger in whatever country he is living - why should another country have to live with our 'rejects' just because we don't feel we can protect our own children well enough? And yes I am a mother - I would personally want to string up anyone who came near my daughter, but morally I would hope to be above that kind of animalistic behaviour. Two wrongs never did make a right.

Unfortunately this man has an illness and unless we can say he is cured then he is a danger to CHILDREN..... and i for one would hate any child to be put thru this purely because we couldn't stop this creature from returning to our shores!

Sarah normally i would agree about most criminals but in my opinion paedophiles are people who cannot be rehabilitated and therefore there will always be the strong probablility they will do it again.

Just as every child has the right to live unmolested.

Maybe he can go and live in Neverland with M.J.

Everyone has the right to be treated like a human being, regardless of what they have done - that's what living in a democracy is all about.

Sarah, Normally I would agree totally with you, but with some offences, especially of this nature, I really do not believe this to be the case. I hope I am wrong. Jacky :-)

He shouldnt be allowed anywhere, he gave up his right to be treated like a human being when he decided to pursue his perverted cravings.

Perhaps he could take his guests with him. Is Jonathan King on the list? Jacky
